Re: Curious Sites Reply #1 – 2014-08-25, 12:36:19 The following site , FlightRadar24, shows the current position of aircraft as per the GPS system.http://www.flightradar24.comIt updates every few seconds so if you watch a flight it will move very, very slowly. You can drag the map to different places.Unless you join and pay them some money it dies after half an hour and you have to restart it. It’s a bit like watching paint dry but It could become interesting in some situations.

The mobile version lets you see which airplane is in the horison right now, useful when firing BUK missiles to see which airplane you are about to accidentally hit. It is helpful to see which route the plane will be taking and thus if it is better to have a window seat on the left or right side of the plane. The map should have been combined with the one from blitzortung.org so that you could see which planes are about to fly into a thunder storm.
